Camarofongo (Shrimp Mofongo) @ Cafe Colonial

In case I never mentioned this, I am originally from the Bronx, NY! I spent a lot of years in the Pelham Parkway area close to the Bronx Zoo. Now, I live in Bridgeport, CT which ironically isn’t that much different from the Bronx. It reminds me of where I use to live except with way less people, LOL. I usually go down and visit twice a month and you know I have to eat something good. I have to say, the Bronx has the best Spanish food you’ll ever get to taste. It’s worth the trip which is only a 45 minute ride from my apartment to the Bronx. I went to a Spanish place called Colonial Restaurant on White Plains Rd. underneath the 2&5 train line. They have an awesome Dominican style breakfast including mangu (mashed plantains), fried cheese & salami & onions. If you never tried that, take my word for it, TRY it! I took my mom to dinner last Friday and I had a shrimp mofongo that was to die for! This is definitely worth a food adventure!
